Alarm? Won't go off

CHRYSLER SEBRING

I own a 2003 Chrysler Sebring 2-Dr. Coupe w/ a inline 4 cyl. With 50.000 miles on it. My problem is that I recently had to replace the battery, but when I did the car went into "alarm" mode, i.E.- The horn blares off and on, the highbeam lights go off and on. So in order to drive the car, the fuses for those two things had to be pulled out. Everything else seems to be okay. Just so you know, this car has never had an alarm installed on it, it has no key-less entry. Is there a "switch" to turn the "alarm" off? And if so where is it?

I assume by now you have an answer to your question, but just for possible help to anyone having similar problems- on my Cirrus, if I get out of the car, close the door, and manually lock & unlock the door with the key, the alarm deactivates. I don't know about other models, but also check your owner's manual- it may describe a similar procedure.
